Chapter 12 — The day I stopped taking care of the books, the Marquis Palace collapsed

He stopped next to me.

“The Queen Mother is looking for her.”

I nodded. Bui Huyen Do bowed to worship.

“King.”

Ninh Van Tieu glanced at him.

“The Northwest sandstorm is very large.”

“Bui The Prince should pay attention and take care.”

It sounds like it's just a normal polite statement. But Bui Huyen Do's face immediately turned pale. Because right after finishing speaking, Ninh Van Tieu very naturally took the cup of wine in my hand and put it aside.

“She has a stomach ache.”

“Drink less alcohol.”

I have never told this to many people. In the past, at the Marquis Palace, I often stayed up all night adjusting the books, my stomach hurt so much that I couldn't sleep. Bui Huyen Do doesn't know. But Ninh Van Tieu remembers it very clearly. Bui Huyen Do also saw it. At that moment, the last ray of light in his eyes completely disappeared. The Queen Mother called me to her side, but not just because of the case. She dismissed all the palace staff nearby, leaving only Ninh Van Tieu alone. A feeling of uneasiness suddenly arose in my heart. The Queen Mother smiled at me.

“Linh Nghi, how do you feel about Prince Regent?”

My fingers tightened slightly. Ninh Van Tieu stood next to him, his expression still calm as usual, only the tips of his ears turned a very light red. I see it. The Queen Mother continued:

“His age is no longer young.”

"In the past, someone urged him to get married, but he always criticized others for being troublesome."

“Now that's good.”

“Running to Thanh Truong Ty two times in three days.”

Ninh Van Tieu coughed softly.

“The Queen Mother.”

The Queen Mother immediately glared at him.

“Shut up.”

I almost couldn't help but laugh out loud. The Queen Mother looked at me again, her tone was much gentler.

“Linh Nghi, you have suffered a lot of wrongs.”

"Ai family doesn't force you."

“Just asking you one question.”

“If I let you be the Regent Princess… would you be willing?”

I raised my head and looked towards Ninh Van Tieu. He is also looking at me. A powerful person like him, at this moment, clearly showed a trace of tension in his eyes. He is waiting for my answer. I remember the years I lived in the Marquis Palace. Check the books every day. Night after night filled the deficit. Because of a rotten Marquis, I wasted all my energy. At that time, everyone felt that I had the ability to manage things, so I should let me manage them. Later I walked out of that place, put on my official uniform, and stood in front of the royal records. Ninh Van Tieu gave me the location. Give me the blade. Also give me a way out. He never asked me to help him clean up the chaotic situation. He just asked me... Are you afraid? Are you tired? Is it painful? I knelt down to worship.

“Goddess wishes.”

Ninh Van Tieu's eyes immediately lit up at that moment. The Queen Mother laughed so much that she couldn't close her mouth. The holy decree of marriage was also lowered very quickly. The whole capital was completely shocked. A divorced woman... was married to the Regent. From the Crown Prince's wife of the Marquis Palace, one step became the Princess Regent. Stepping up so high... Truly too strong. Some people are jealous. Someone cursed. There are also people who don't dare to believe it at all. But no one dared to say it directly to their faces. It is said that when Bui Huyen Do received the news, he sat in the military camp all night. The next day, He presented a petition, asking himself to guard the Northwest for three years. Before leaving the capital, he sent someone to bring a book. It clearly states that he will return all seventy-four thousand taels of silver to me later. Both capital and interest. After watching, we close the seal.

“The books are clear.”

Xuan Dao stood next to him and asked:

“Do you need a response?”

I shook my head.

"No need."

The day the Regent Palace came to welcome the bride, the atmosphere was more than ten times greater than that of the Hau Palace that year. The army opened the way. The prince's ceremonial staff stretches across the main street. I dressed in a royal dress and sat in front of the dressing table. Mother personally combed my hair, my eyes turned red.

“Linh Nghi, this time you must have fun.”

I held her hand.

“You will.”

She laughed and cried at the same time.

“Since I was little, I've liked to manage things.”

“Mother is always afraid that you will be tired.”

“Now finally someone is taking care of me.”

I couldn't help but laugh.

"The royal family may not be able to control you."

Outside the door suddenly came Ninh Van Tieu's voice.

“This king will try his best.”

The whole room immediately burst into laughter. My cheeks get hot. While worshiping, Ninh Van Tieu held one end of a red silk strip.
